Hey im out of conclusions and i need some help with my car. My car has 129k miles on it and i have a weird misfire problem and i need help. I cant figure out the problem i have a misfire on cylinder 6 but i swapped coils and it wasnt the coils or the spark plugs. Its weird cuz when i bought the car the owner told me its been laying out there for a few months.I also did a compression test on each of the cylinders and it came up to 150 on all of them. If anyone came across this problem and knows anything id appreciate the help.

Your compression sounds a little low, 190-200 is usually where you want to be.

But the misfire is on cylinder 6 i dont think it has anything to do with the 02 sensor. Im thinking its a bad fuel injector thats causing this misfire. I will replace it today or tomorrow and ill let you guys know
